We've been using the strength of our schedule as a motivational factor for a while now. We've seen Assumption, Mercy, Franklin-Simpson, Butler, Manual and a lot of other really good teams. I think our schedule paid off in the regional, and hopefully it will help at state. |
We've completed what we consider a very challenging and demanding schedule. With the games we have set up during the non-conference portion of our schedule, we feel it gives our players an opportunity to gain valuable experience before facing the rugged Big 12 Conference. |
We've gone a long way in a very short period of time here, even since Mr. Greenspan's testimony or comments back in December about irrational exuberance. So we could see some continued volatility, some choppiness but I expect the economic data will probably be supportive. |
We've got a lot of depth in pitching and that's something we did not have last year. The way it looks now, Bethany and Andrea will be our go-to pitchers. They have a good command of the strike zone. We're excited about our pitchers. They all worked hard during the summer. |
We've had a great offense here at Georgia Southern, one that did not require a tight end. What we will do here offensively will require a tight end and we would like to have at least four on the roster, so this is a good start for us. It was definitely a position of need. |
We've had somewhat of an injury bug, so instead of playing every other series on defense, Nick's pretty much playing the entire game, ... He didn't come out for one snap against Lancaster and that's all a credit to him. He prepared hard for the season and it's paying off. |
We've helped the state a lot. When people watch our games, they forget for a while they're living in a trailer in Shreveport or Houston instead of their house in New Orleans. We are making people feel happy, at least for a moment, and nothing is more satisfying than that. |
We've just completed a draft recommendation for a common communication protocol for settlement and clearing in the EU. The final version will be published in March 2006, and we're looking for infrastructure to be compliant with the terms of that protocol within two years. |
We've just scratched the surface in being able to communicate with him so that he can play our defense. Right now, we're relying mostly on the written word I'd personally like to take basic sign language lessons and continue to develop better ways to communicate with him. |
We've seen an increase in training requests by agencies due to an increased need for the security of our ports. They've done a good job with securing the airways, but now ports are the more likely areas to be hit when you have three sides of the country bordered by water. |
We've seen higher inflation in the course of this year than perhaps was anticipated last year when wage deals were negotiated, ... Consequently that's eroded household purchasing power, and we've actually seen very sluggish consumer demand - which has been a big surprise. |
We've spoken out and said you can stand up and you don't have to be afraid of anybody. But it won't mean anything unless the people in the communities take that opportunity the next time the IRA comes to their door and say to them 'I'm not going to allow you to bully me'. |
Well all the big companies are really panicked by the internet thing and all that, and sales went down, although sales have gone up again in this country a bit and also the big companies, because they're so big, they need big sales really so they're not really interested. |
Well, certainly it's limiting. How limiting? They've all run the run plays that we are calling. We've had to limit it going into this thing anyway in case this in fact did happen, so we prepared that way. But it does limit you some. I'd be misleading you to say it didn't. |
Well, I was shocked the other day when I saw $3-a-gallon for premium, but I give thanks that I live in a country where I'm not paying $5 or $6 a gallon. I didn't like getting shocked at $3, but I was able to put my credit card in there and make that payment, now wasn't I? |
